The Tactical Aviation and Ground Munitions Project Office within the U.S. Army’s Program Executive Office – Missiles and Space is soliciting capability statements regarding solutions that companies can offer to address the Mobile-Long Range Precision Strike Missile, or M-LRPSM, requirement.
The M-LRPSM project seeks to acquire a “readily available” missile with a range of 25 kilometers or greater that can be equipped via an interface kit onto Infantry Brigade Combat Team platforms — either the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle or the Infantry Squad Vehicle, according to a request for information posted Thursday on SAM.gov.
The weapon’s other requirements include effectiveness against a variety of targets — like armored vehicles and fortifications — and the ability to retarget, adjust flight or abort.
Interested parties have until Nov. 22 to respond.

A U.S. government slide presentation shows that the Trump administration’s Golden Dome next-generation missile defense shield will include four layers: one satellite-based platform and three land-based missile systems, Reuters reported Tuesday. The missile defense shield is expected to cost $175 billion and be completed by 2028. According to the slides, one of the layers will be a space-based sensing and targeting layer for missile warning and tracking, and missile defense. Meanwhile, the three ground-based layers consist of radar arrays, missile interceptors and lasers. The slides presented to 3,000 defense contractors in Huntsville, Alabama, show 11 short-range missile batteries located across
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has developed the Digital RF Battlespace Emulator, or DRBE, to accelerate the creation of advanced radio frequency systems in response to evolving electronic warfare threats. Addressing Complex RF Threats DARPA said Tuesday the DRBE, the largest virtual radio frequency test range in the world, simulates complex electronic warfare scenarios. The high-fidelity real-time platform enables simultaneous interactions of synthetic RF entities in a software-defined environment, allowing artificial intelligence-powered EW capabilities to be tested. The DRBE features a high-performance, wafer-scale computing architecture, which provides the massive throughput and ultra-low latency necessary to simulate complex RF engagements and
